Cloreen Bacon... zzzzz zzz


But that's not a "song"!!! eek

That was purely included as an insight in to how Prince used to record in the studio and keep his drummer funky. The whole thing is ad-libbed (for which it is an incredible piece, cos there are still some fabulously musical moments), but it is of greater interest just to witness Prince's recording process.

Hence, it can't be included, as it wasn't written or intended as a song, its just an off-the-cuff jam.


I like Cloreen Bacon Skin. It's a fun jam. I think a lot of the songs mentioned don't really fit the category. There are some bad songs, but that doesn't make them boring.

how the hell ...

i really don't like that song
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.

It's a Prince track on a Prince album and it's as boring as hell! No matter what its intention, it fails to capture the attention of the listener for its duration (which ultimately is the criteria for a 'boring' song).

It's included!

In fact, what is the definition of a Prince 'song' as opposed to a 'jam' or indeed any description of any given track? By your logic, tracks from NEWS should also be discounted as they're not presented as 'songs' as such.

The definition for any song, not just one by Prince, is something that is composed - a jam is an improvised performance with no set structure. There is a clear difference.

The tracks on NEWS by any logic, not just mine, are quite obviously compositions and not jams. What was your logic to arrive at the unusual conclusion that they are not presented as songs? They have structure, each one has a title and, clearly and most importantly, the musicians knew exactly what they were doing.

Cloreen is the complete opposite and, just to help you along, the liner notes even explain that it is not a song, but an exercise.

Discounted! razz

Yeah. This.

It's interesting, and a welcome rarity, but not interesting enough to make me want to listen for 12 minutes. I'm usually asleep by the 2:00 minute marker.

As if there's any question: N.E.W.S. Except for a guitar solo in West, every bit of it is the definition of boring music.

I 4got about N.E.W.S. That entire album was a sleeper.



I've never managed to listen to the whole disc!!!! Not good at all!!!!

With what's been said I don't mind Arms of Orion and Eternity.

Still sticking with Still would stand all time.

Noooo! I love this song.

It's one of the songs that I have always wanted him to do a live update of, just like how he did for Bambi on the Nude tour and repeated on The Undertaker.

I'm yours is one of those Gems that stands out as it's nothing like the rest of the album. Just like Bambi on Prince I suppose.

Your choice though!!!

Come on....there is a difference in songs that bore you and songs u don't like. "North" I can see, but give "When the Lights Go Down" a break.

When the lights go down is all right, I can definitely see liking it (it's got a cool sound), but to me it takes way too long to kick in. Kind of sits in the same place for way too long.

Call My Name & Right Back Here in my Arms are songs that Prince can do in his sleep. They don't really do anything new musically or lyrically. Doesn't mean they suck, but they don't move me.
